Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented lock is dedicated to the rear right door wing in Mercedes W169 models. Its placement in the rear right zone means that the component works with the factory handle mechanism, rods, and control system, maintaining the correct geometry for closing and opening the door.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, the lock integrates with the existing door structure, which limits the need for additional modifications and allows for the efficient restoration of full functionality to the side of the vehicle body.

Construction and technical function

The component belongs to the Doors and door panels group, responsible for the mechanical and partially controlled operation of the door wing. The lock works with:

• the external and internal handle mechanism,
• rods or cables guiding the opening movement,
• the door locking system in the rear right part of the vehicle.

Such a connection ensures stable door closing, proper retention of the door wing in the closed position, and correct cooperation with other side body components.

Condition of the component and benefits of use

The offered lock is a used part, which in practice means it retains the original mounting geometry and compatibility with factory Mercedes solutions. Choosing such a component allows you to:

• maintain technical consistency with other door elements,
• minimize the risk of fitment issues typical of aftermarket replacements of uncertain origin,
• reduce repair costs while maintaining the proper functionality of the lock.

This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident or maintenance repairs, where it is crucial to restore efficient door operation without interfering with the body structure.

Selecting the lock for a specific vehicle

To correctly select the lock for your Mercedes, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the body version and placement on the vehicle. Information such as placement on the vehicle or OEM part number is available in the technical specification and allows you to verify compatibility with your W169 model. Additionally, available interchangeable numbers can be helpful, facilitating the identification of the correct lock variant within the same construction group.
